Discussion
There are several reasons to select Earth Magic, but one of the strongest motive is Town Portal spell, which is among the most powerful adventure map spells along with Fly and Dimension Door. Another excellent reason is Slow spell, which becomes a mass spell on expert level. Moreover, while Resurrection spell resurrects creatures only for the duration of the current battle on basic level, it resurrects them permanently on advanced and expert level. A hero with enough spell points, high power skill and expert Resurrection has good chances not to lose any troops in even tough battles. Shield and Stone Skin spells become mass spells on expert level. Implosion, which is the most destructive spell for a single creature stack, deals 200 more damage on expert level than on basic level.
